one that is inspiring and delicious, at the same time a preservation of
tradition and an act of conservation.
-- Alice Waters, author of Chez Panisse Fruit and Chez Panisse Vegetables
I love this book! Jane
Goodall’s generous, playful spirit imbues every fascinating age. Harvest for Hope is full of mind-expanding observations. . . a personal, tender
wake-up call telling us that we can reclaim the wisdom of our bodies.
-- Frances Moore Lappe, author of Hope's Edge and Diet for a Small Planet
“That Jane Goodall feels
called to bring her life as a zoologist in Africa to bare
on the state of food in the world, shows that regardless of what we've done
in our lives, what we choose to eat matters. And how. Thankfully, Harvest for Hope points to the actions we can
take to correct the imbalances. But it starts where it must, by making us
conscious beings, for ultimately, environmental transformation can't exist
outside of personal transformation. If you haven’t thought much about the
food you eat and the choices you make (and even if you have), this is an
important book to read!”
-- Deborah Madison, author of Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone and Local Flabors: Cooking and Eating from America's Marmers' Markets
“A lucid, anecdote-filled
introduction to the world of food, revealing how our food production affects
us and how our choices affect the environment. . . Consider this book the
shopping list for you and your children’s future.”
-- Paul Hawken, author of Ecology of Commerce
“Thrice a day you get the
chance to change the planet. You can change it in significant
ways, if you follow just some of this book’s wise advice.”
-- Bill McKibben, author of Wandering Home: A Long Walk Across America's Most Hopeful Landscape
"Persuasive...jargon-free and anecdote-rich approach makes it a useful primer
for grassroots activists."
-- Publishers Weekly
